City Cement and Next Generation SCM launch low carbon concrete in Saudi Arabia14 October 2024, Published under Cement NewsNizak Mining Company, a subsidiary of City Cement , has partnered with UK-based industrial group Next Generation SCM to establish a groundbreaking joint venture producing low carbon concrete in Saudi Arabia. The venture will launch the kingdom's first calcined clay supplementary cementitious material (SCM) production facility, with an initial annual capacity of 350,000t, aiming to double this by the second year. The Riyadh-based factory, slated to begin mass production by 3Q25, will use ... |
Study unveils fly ash geopolymer concrete as potential SCM25 September 2024, Published under Cement NewsA new study from Zhejiang University of Technology, China, sheds light on the potential of fly ash geopolymer concrete (FAGC) as a sustainable alternative to Portland cement concrete (PCC), which is a significant contributor to CO 2 emissions. The research, published in *PLOS ONE*, outlines a robust method for predicting the compressive strength of FAGC while optimising its mixture design to minimise environmental impact. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), such as fly ash, are ... |
Alumtek Minerals delivers breakthrough in SCM production19 March 2024, Published under Cement NewsAlumtek Minerals (AM) has recently completed research and development on bauxite residue waste, commonly known as ‘red mud’. Most notably, AM has developed a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) meeting the stringent Australian Standard AS3582.4. The company is now actively seeking joint venture partners to propel this innovative solution to the next level, demonstrating its commitment to driving sustainable practices within the cement industry. Red mud is an alkaline by-product of t... |
FLSmidth signs partnership with FCT ACTech21 September 2023, Published under Cement NewsCement plants have a new solution for online analysis of raw materials thanks to a recent partnership signed between FLSmidth and FCT ACTech. Under the agreement, FLSmidth will incorporate FCT ACTech’s advanced XRF and XRD analysers in its new QCX® CUBE solutions. Quality control in the cement production process is a critical issue and one of growing complexity due to the increasing use of alternative fuels and new supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). These introduce variabilit... |
FLSmidth and Mannok partner on SCM project15 August 2023, Published under Cement NewsFLSmidth and Ireland-based cement producer Mannok are partnering on a new decarbonisation research project to maximise supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in cement composition, using digitalisation and advanced predictive modelling. SCMs are expected to play a key role in the cement industry’s pathway to net-zero. Covering a range of materials, from natural pozzolans to calcined clay and industrial byproducts, SCMs have a lower-carbon footprint than traditional Portland clinker... |
Heidelberg Materials acquires The SEFA Group Inc27 April 2023, Published under Cement NewsHeidelberg Materials has agreed to acquire The SEFA Group, Inc, the largest recycler of harvested fly ash for use in concrete products in the USA. Based in Lexington, South Carolina, The SEFA Group currently supplies fly ash to over 800 concrete plants across 13 states. According to Heidelberg Materials, the reuse of fly ash from energy generation in alternative products such as composite cements strengthens circularity within its value chain with the addition of fly ash as secondary... |
